Blog / Folio Redesign
I think its about time I refreshed my Blog/Portfolio with something a little cleaner. Something that doesn't rely heavily on a background image as its focal point and which isn't hosted by Blogger.
Over the pass two years almost, Blogger has done me proud and only cost me £6 for a domain. But I've grown out of its simplistic UI and lack of customisation options. I want more, and want to start from the ground up.
I've had a few ideas on how to "re-brand" myself, the one below being my favourite so far, but it will all change no doubt as I refine the idea and play about with it a bit more.
The main idea is to have a single band of colour stretching across the screen to show the user which page they are viewing. As the mouse hovers over the page titles, the corresponding coloured band will show to provide feedback.
Still not completely decided on the colour scheme, but over the coming weeks I'll play about some more in Photoshop, then start building it with HTML and css.
Looking forward to trying out some HTML5 features I've been reading about recently too.

Mixed 09
Been messing about over the last week or so, trying to nail this mixing lark. During every mix I've made so far, I've cocked at least once. This mix is no exception, but timing of tracks and cueing has improved quite a bit I think. The tracklist is a little weak, but haven't had much time to filter through the latest stuff.
Anyway here it is. Hopefully Mixed 10 will be delightful.

Mixed 08
Its been an age since I last made a mix, but here's a short 30 0dd minute one to get back into the spirit of things. As always there's a ropey bit in the middle. Think I need to put some practice hours in.
Two changes to add also. Previously I was using Virtual DJ, a software package that came bundled with the midi control I use, but I've since upgraded to Traktor Pro. It's a hell of alot more conprehensive, and really makes VDJ seem like a 'toy' in some respects. Need to try out all the features, but its pretty slick to use.
Secondly is hosting. As you can see theres a waveform below. This is hosted on SoundCloud, a really cool site that's the music equivalent of Flickr almost, with elements of Twitter. You can follow people, download tunes and comment on tracks. Take a look. Anyway here's the mix.
